Working with Kristin on the development of my child was a huge stepping stone not only for my daughter’s progression but for the support and direction she provided in being a new parent as well! She always made the visits fun and interactive even during COVID via telehealth.

Having had a micro preemie, it was vital to utilize Kristin’s techniques to ensure my daughter did not have a delay. My child is now thriving as a result and came out ahead when she was at risk for falling behind with her adjusted age. We cannot thank Kristin enough for the time and amount of passion she has for her patients and I highly recommend her for treatment!

Kristin Lucero has been an asset to our family. Its a privilege to be in her circle. She is professional and pleasure to have in our home.

Our child has flourished with her compassionate care, expertise and gifted talents. It’s a rare quality to be able to connect with littles and she has that gift to connect either on the play mat or through the screen. We have all felt her positive impact and consider ourselves blessed to have had her support to maintain a positive trajectory for our child and to equip us to carry on that momentum.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Kristin for the past 7 years and cannot recommend her highly enough. As a physical therapist in early intervention, her expertise and passion for helping others has made a big impact in our community. She has an incredible talent for helping her clients feel understood, safe and well cared for.

What sets her apart from other therapists is her playful, compassionate and enthusiastic approach. Kristin meets each patient where they are and supports them to meet their goals. With a background in dance/creative movement, massage therapy and a doctorate in physical therapy, Kristin designs holistic and evidenced-based sessions tailored for each patient.
